It is strongly recommended to pick up the car at the airport, because the airport stores generally have the largest selection of cars and the most complete models, and the staff will also let you into the parking lot. You can choose any car in the color and model group, without being limited to the car in the order. If you rent a car at a small store, there may not be many cars to choose from.

@Jorvey It's to see the aurora. One consideration is that the log cabin conditions are not as comfortable as in the city. Renting a car yourself, if you bring your parents, comfort is still the first! The log cabin is not as easy to book as in the city now. It seems to be fully booked... It's said that spring is the peak season. Who would have thought that it's so hard to book now.. ? United States Q&A

Oh. But I'm afraid I may not have the Internet sometimes. Last time I rented a car in Europe, I was lucky and the car had a built-in navigation system that was really good. I'm afraid I won't be so lucky this time. I'll rent WI-FI at the airport before departure, but I'm also afraid it won't be very useful. Do you rent WI-FI or switch to phone cards ? United States Q&A

Hello. I have looked at the file you sent, which is mainly aimed at several highways in California. I wonder if there is a solution for post-payment of tolls specifically for the city of Boston? Without rental car equipment, I went in and out of the city of Boston once from the airport and saw two electronic toll collection devices. I searched on the Internet and it seems that rented cars cannot be post-paid, I wonder if this is true. I beg the expert to guide me ? United States Q&A

I arrived at San Francisco Airport at 20:25 on the evening of the 24th local time. I need to adjust to the time difference and won't be picking up the car in the city until the 26th. I would like to ask a few questions: first, how long does it take to go through customs? Second, I will be taking a taxi from the airport to a hotel near Union Square with my five-year-old child. I heard that California requires a safety seat, but I'm not sure if there will be one in the taxi. Third, it would be even better if there's someone leaving San Francisco on the 26th to join me in driving on Highway 1 ? United States Q&A

The United States is very large, and every time you go somewhere it's different. This summer, I went to Yellowstone and chose an SUV, but I regretted it because the high center of gravity made it tilt heavily on the mountain roads... and all the roads were paved, so if you don't have a need for a lot of luggage, don't choose an SUV. Last year, I rented a BMW 4 Series to drive around the Grand Canyon area and it felt great. I stayed in Yellowstone for 5 days, 2 days at Old Faithful, 2 days at Canyon, and 1 day at Yellowstone Lake. The itinerary was not tight, so I just played around and drove all the roads in Yellowstone. Accommodation in Yellowstone is expensive, and the itinerary was not optimized, but the gas prices were cheaper than in the Bay Area. As for cash and credit cards, to be honest, I haven't used much cash in recent years. I only keep cash for tips. Throughout the trip, I only used cash once at a strange restaurant in Salt Lake City for one night, and also used cash to send postcards at the Yellowstone post office. Everything else was done with credit cards, including self-service gas and meals. It was surprising to find out at a gas station in Carson City that they explicitly did not accept VISA credit cards and had to use a MasterCard. I remembered trying credit cards at gas stations in Utah and San Diego last year, and this year's experience was really different, as many gas stations have upgraded ? United States Q&A
